There are folks on this thread whining about this story possibly being plagiarized from the Army Times story. They should be happy that NY Times readers are being exposed to it, even though the number who read it is moot.

Happy New Year!!!

The reason the Times ran the article is because they think it shows how cold and inhumane our soldiers are. They don't see it in a realistic perspective that would make most Americans proud. They see it as something disgusting and I am sure their are a lot of ignorant Liberals out there that use this stuff in their anti-American propaganda. But luckily most Americans know these things must happen and are proud of the people who do it.

You have to appreciate the surgeon's scalpel that these snipers represent. In a situation where every collateral damage death demands a revenge killing, you really do not want to fire heavy weapons if at all possible. The sniper who can shoot the armed bad guy in the middle of a city without harming the civilians around him is the perfect weapon.
